20 !!DESCRIPTION

22
23 plpnfsd is a daemon, which provides NFS-like access to your
24 Psion. It automatically makes the psion's filesystems
25 available below an NFS-mounted directory (default
26 /mnt/psion). By default, plpnfsd is installed suid-root, so
27 any normal user can start it and get's the mounted directory
28 owned by himself. As this program is usually used on
29 single-user machines, this does not hurt security. Like the
30 others, this program auto-reconnects after a link-failure,
31 so you can keep the psion mounted all the time, even when it
32 is not connected. Due to Rudolf Koenig's clever
33 error-handling, you don't need to worry about blocked
34 io-processes if the psion isn't available. You simply will
